Akaust, as a fellow type 1 I think the best way you can help youself right now is buy the book! <<<<<<<<<<<<<

There is dexcom, hypo watch and your everyday glucose meter?

Hi Akaust, It's quite clear that you are having a roller coaster of blood sugars probably because you are eating large amounts of carbohydrates. As a long standing type 1 diabetic myself these high blood sugars really not need to happen nor do the long term complications. It be wise of you to...

Dr Bernstein says that long exposure to high blood and then normalising blood sugars can bring on the symptoms of hypoglycaemia. If a diabetic typically had blood sugars around 10 and if you'd immediately brought their blood sugars to normal he'd or she would feel hypoglycaemia symptoms...

Hi, 4.8 is not considered to be a low blood sugar for an adult. Non diabetic adults typically run around 4.6 You have a normal blood sugar post exercise. For more information about type 2 diabetes I'd strongly recommend Dr Bernsteins Diabetes Solution book available on Amazon.

Hi Danielle, I think it be wise to read Dr Bernsteins Diabetes Solution to learn and manage your disease and preserve your beta cells.

I think it's best you don't correct your blood sugar until at least 5 hours have since your dose. There is two very likely causes 1. Insulin is damaged- it's best you throw away this cartridge and try a fresh cartridge. 2. If the insulin is still isn't working then you clearly have an infection.

Hi Sarah, there is only more thing I can think of which also applies to me. Depending on how long you've had diabetes and how long you've been exposed to high blood sugars you may have a slightly or severely paraylised stomach. This diabetic condition is called gastrporesis. If I for example eat...

Hi Sarah, I dont think that napping causes hypo but more likely you have a similar problem to what most diabetics have. Usually I have the sytoms of hypo about 30mins before onset of a hypo. Prior to the onset of low blood sugar I usually always want to go sleep. I soon realised that when ever...

I think it's best you sacrifice some sleep until you become stable. It be wise to keep your blood sugars higher than normal for tonight and check your bloods whilst your sleep.

What time did you inject the novorapid?

Hi how are you getting on?

Hi Saeeda, I strongly disagree with the above advice to inject into thighs. If you feel your thighs you will find little body fat and only a thin layer of skin with muscle below. You will likely inject into your muscle. The problem with injecting insulin into muscle is that it will work a lot...

Hi Saeeda, please read Dr Bernstein Diabetes Solution available on Amazon UK. Here's some basic information about insulin. Insulin with the help of fat cells converts glucose in your blood stream to body fat. Insulin in other words builds body fat. You are suffering from a case of...

Hi Liz H, unlike yourself I was scared of trying something new. I was on Lantus for many years but a month ago switched to Tresiba. It's a lovely insulin. I use to suffer overnight hypo and whenever I did it was quite severe. On Tresiba I have only had one hypo episode overnight. I now awake...
